Revolution From My Bed
Ten years. 3,650 days. Zero answers.
We are told the system is designed to save us. So what happens when it hangs? When the loading bar freezes at 99% and no doctor is coming to reboot it? This book is about what patients actually do when medicine has no answer yet. It is not a policy argument. It is a user manual.
It is for the patient who has spent years inside a system that was designed for someone else. For the advocate trying to explain an experience medicine doesn't have language for yet. And for the clinician who suspects the gap is larger than their training suggested.
“This is the most important lesson I have had in medical school. Every future doctor should listen to this.”
